Concern about Jon Lester's 'dead arm'

Posted April 28, 2015 12:01 am

I am writing in response to Bruce Miles' article "Take on the Cubs" on Monday, April 6, 2015. The article describes the adjustment the Chicago Cubs are making with starting pitcher Jon Lester, and about the new renovation the Cubs are making in the outfield bleachers.

In the article, it said that Joe Maddon, the Cubs manager, is not worried about Jon Lester with his "dead arm." I certainly disagree with that statement because his arm could affect the Cubs season. Plus his arm could affect his future. The article said Lester's curveball was off. If Lester works on his curveball, he can be an effective pitcher.

In the article, the Chicago Cubs are making a renovation on the outfield bleachers. This is year four of the building plan put together by team President Theo Epstein and the general manager Jed Hoyer. With this renovation the rooftop owners are probably complaining because they are not going to make any more money. I don't understand about why the renovation is not completely done yet. My favorite part of the article was the steps you do if you do not like the renovation. I hope the Cubs have a great season this year.
